Nutrients, Vol. 11, Pages 1618: The Role of Mitochondria in Sex-Dependent Differences in Hepatic Steatosis and Oxidative Stress in Response to Cafeteria Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice (Nutrients)
 


Female mice fed a cafeteria diet (FCaf) develop higher liver steatosis and oxidative stress than males (MCaf) as a consequence of unresolved ER stress. Here, we investigated whether mitochondria play a role in this sex difference. The isolated mitochondria from FCaf showed more signs of oxidative stress than those of MCaf, correlated with a reduced content of GSH, increased amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lower activities of enzymes involved in ROS neutralisation. Mitochondria from FCaf and MCaf livers exhibited lower rates of succinate-driven state III respiration and reduced ATPase activity in intact coupled mitochondria compared to their controls fed a standard diet (FC and MC), with no differences between the sexes. Fatty acid oxidation in mitochondria and peroxisomes was higher in MCaf and FCaf compared to their respective controls. In the intact perfused liver, there was no difference between sex or diet regarding the fatty acid oxidation rate. These results indicated that cafeteria diet did not affect mitochondrial energy metabolism, even in FCaf livers, which have higher steatosis and cellular oxidative stress. Nevertheless, the increase in mitochondrial ROS generation associated with a decrease in the antioxidant defence capacity, probably contributes to inducing or reinforcing the ER stress in FCaf livers.
